Rubio is finished. He has no chance after amnesty declaration today.

It's a 2 man race Cruz/Trump.

That would be a more of a one-man victory lap than a race.  Cruz has no chance when he leaves revival tent country.

No way is this douche Cruz going to win.

The three Americans captured Iraq yesterday were nabbed in a Baghdad brothel.  No word whether the whores were Sunni or Shia.

Cruz is the smartest guy in the room. Can`t count a guy like that out too early.

The timeline did not explain why the crews of two patrol boats â€" which the military said were supposed to remain in international waterways â€" deviated from their course and strayed into Iranian territorial waters. Nor did it explain why they allowed Iranian sailors to board their boats, or why the boats’ communications equipment apparently failed, cutting them off from their superiors.

I`ve spent way too much time around that area, and I can tell you, nothing adds up here. There`s some serious underhanded BS going on here.

Add to that, you and I are under one sky. Cats and dogs! Living together!

Now that Lindsey Graham is out of the race, is there any presidential candidate who's a veteran?

There are none currently. However, James Webb is thinking about reanimating his campaign.

Another Carson manager resigned, his finance guy.  He was getting $20K/mo.  I'm guessing Carson's been fleeced by professional campaign parasites.

I'm warmed to hear the media reporting Cruz's unreported $500K loan in 2012 from Goldman Sachs, where his wife just happens to be a VP.  Yeah, he's an outsider.

20K?  Shit, I'd of done it for 5.

[paladin1991]

The Republican Party is a joke at this point...they got a guy (Trump) kicking ass, and they don't support him...their spokesperson (Haley) used Dem talking points to try and hurt him politically...

I guess one could say Hillary did the same to Sanders, claiming he was a pro gun advocate...but that wasn't after the SOU address...

I'm glad I'm not of either party...

I don't like parties.  Too messy.  Too crowded.  Too noisy.


Parades.  Yeah, I like parades.  Fm a 3rd story window.  A nice flat trajectory.   With no crosswind.  No closer than a hundred yards, though.  Fills the sight picture too much.

It's been rumored for a long time that the Iranians have been able to hack our drones. I believe they even captured one completely in tact by hacking it and having it land at one of their airfields. I wonder if the Iranians were playing games with those boats electronics?

It's also entirely possible that there's some black world stuff going on there. With how much of war and reality is becoming about the manipulation of technology if I was China, Russia or any country not on friendly terms with the US, that's where I would quietly be playing with my new toys.

Heard a great call to a local talk show up here in the Northeast this afternoon.  The caller said he went into a grocery store and it was picked clean.  He wasn't sure if a snowstorm was coming or Bernie Sanders won the election.

James Webb.  A warrior.  Wrote Fields of Fire.  Read that just before I joined the Marines.  It was a gift fm my Officer Selection Officer  (OSO).

One of my favorite books. He personally signed a copy for me when he was Assistant Secretary of Defense for Reserve Affairs, in `87. I`m a fan of his, and would even *gasp* consider voting for him.

I would be interested.  Very interested in his campaign.  I've got a better idea of what I might get with a Marine leading fm the front.

Jeb Bush criticizing Donald Trump for not being a true Christian in 2016 is about what I'd expect from a man who carries turtles around in his pockets and has no friends.

Admiral in charge of Naval security cannot see secrets!

Only in government/military could such an odd situation arise. And weird because Obama has purged so many in higher ranks of the course of his presidency.

About time! I'll bet he won't need a teleprompter to say the salat, which he says is the most beautiful thing ever.

I am completely confused on how liberalism and Democrat became synonymous with socialism and communism? I have never seen a bigger trick pulled off in my life. I was raised to believe liberalism was open-minded, free speech, pro science and pro social causes. During W administration I thought liberalism was anti-big government, corruption, war and all the evils of the Bush Administration. How that has turned into whatever this democratic-socialism the extreme left under Obama has made mainstream blows my mind. I think it's because people who actually lived through the tyranny of socialist countries are thinning out and young people are stupid. Socialists believe the government is corrupt and evil, so the answer is to give the government more power over more aspects of our lives? How fucking stupid do you have to be to think like that?

I firmly believe the rise of this nonsense among younger people is because of the decline of Christianity in this country. The stupid people are getting picked up in a new but essentially same scam.

you have been conned, like most people. Liberalism is nothing like "pro science" or "free speech". It is essentially to be free from all belonging to anything. They want you to be free from belonging to a family, so they attack family structure. They want you to be free from being heterosexual, so they promote homos and lesbians. They want you to be free from being a man or woman, so they promote transgenderism and force young girls to allow you into their bathroom. You get the point, I hope.

I don't, but I suspect you're a dim bulb to begin with.
Anyone who talks that much about what "they" do is suspect out of the gate in my book.
They call my book The Book of the_Stranger.
Or Three Corinthians, for you.

Watching the Democrat town hall meeting, Bernie Sanders is the most sensible person in the room.  The audience members are stark raving mad, and Anderson Cooper is a shameless ass kisser.
